No thanks Andy.
Wealthy areas must play their part in housing asylum seekers, PM Andy Burnham suggests bbc.in/4hnWBtg

So when it’s hot we stop going to work? That will stimulate the economy Zack great shout. The New Forrest fire started as a vehicle fire!
Good.
Now we need action. Tax fossil fuel giants to pay for firefighting helicopters. A cool space in every community. A maximum working temperature.
And no new oil and gas extraction in the North Sea. We cannot negotiate with the science.

Challenge moronic narratives, ask for explanations, get the same 5 year old emotional tolerance for opposition. @areyoflight

So just fucking rent then and stick what you can into a fund. Mortgages haven’t just been invented mate, 15 years ago you needed £30k deposit for a flat in the south. Cut your cloth and stop fucking whinging.
Older generations genuinely have no fucking clue how hard it is to buy a house nowadays.
“Cancel Netflix.”
“Stop buying coffees.”
“Work overtime.”
Brilliant. So if I cancel £10 worth of subscriptions, suddenly I can afford a £300,000 house?
The problem isn't the fucking coffee.
It's house prices going through the roof, rent swallowing half your wages, food and bills getting more expensive, while wages struggle to keep up.
They could buy a house, raise a family and live on one income.
Now we're expected to have two incomes, side hustles and a savings account that somehow magically grows while we're paying £1,200 a month in rent.
Same country.
Same generations.
Completely different economy.
And somehow we're the ones being told we're bad with money.

You should pay more to have your bins taken away if you’re wealthy apparently. We get it, you’re poor and bitter and you want other people who aren’t to foot the bills. Vs actually challenging how money is spent because mentally that’s more challenging. FFS.
If you are defending people who have houses worth £20+m paying the same council tax as me (Victorian terrace in the north east) then you are absolute bellends.

I feel like illegal immigration is the only thing any leader needs to be focused on as job number one. There’s no other job until that’s contained, and thousands of men are sent back to their home nations. British citizens must be protected.
BREAKING: The prime minister has announced single-parent households on universal credit will have access to more money to help teenagers take on apprenticeships, in a bid to tackle youth unemployment.

Government should invest in a network of nationalised supermarkets at this point. That source from local farms only. Beat supermarkets on price, forcing prices down and empowering British farming. No wagon wheels or frozen dinners. Eggs, bread, milk and fresh produce.
Isnt it time supermarkets like @sainsburys and @Tesco who make massive profits were able to tell us how many of their staff have to claim Universal Credit?
Which is effectively the state subsisding employers who offer low wages.

Newsflash. In the summer it gets hot. 🤯
It’s literally not rained for a month in southern England, and the Westminster press corps just spent weeks saying Ed Miliband is bad because he takes climate change seriously.
We are almost certainly in the foothills of really significant changes to everyday life.

It’s in everyone’s best interests for every player in every squad to grow their hair long now. This is genuinely the worst decision I think I’ve ever seen. #manutd
